Subtle star and cross motifs appear in soft tone-on-tone stitching across this handcrafted Moroccan cactus silk pillow, hand-worked in white against a warm ivory-linen ground. Woven from the resilient fibers of the Saharan aloe vera cactus — often called cactus silk or Sabra silk — this pillow measures approximately 20"(L) x 18"(H). Finished with raw fringe at the corners. Each piece is one of a kind; small variation in stitch and size is part of its handmade character.
This is a handmade Moroccan cactus silk pillow, approximately 20"x18", in ivory-linen with soft tonal star and cross motifs.
Q: What does "tonal" embroidery mean on a pillow like this? A: It means the stitching is worked in a color close to the base fabric, so the pattern shows through texture and light rather than bold contrast — a quieter, more understated look.
